Course Description

This course emphasizes fundamental chemical concepts and inorganic structures. Topics to be discussed include: atomic and molecular structure; the periodic table and periodicity; chemical bonding; thermochemistry; kinetics and reaction rates, chemical equilibrium, acid- base and solubility equilibria; and basic thermodynamics. Electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry and the descriptive chemistry of the representative elements may be introduced as optional enrichment topics to advanced students. Laboratory experiments are captured in video as reference. These are designed to complement lectures.
